Organised by

DB Morgan - Born and bred in Colchester, Essex, UK. A mental health survivor, vocal advocate for #ownvoices works and proud family ambassador for www.sickchildrenstrust.org. DB and the #underdogcrew welcome you along to the world premiere of his third feature film, Morris Men.

As a mental health survivor, anxiety sufferer and general all-round underdog, DB Morgan is proud to welcome under-represented and minority groups into all his filmmaking exploits. Having trialled his 'youth involvement project' during the shoot of his 2010, MTV competition winning, short film, 'Subject 3' he quickly learned that everybody has something to offer in a creative environment and crew members on the autism/aspergers spectrum especially came away empowered and motivated from their experiences on set.​

“You don’t need a spaceship or time machine to access my worlds. Neither do you need to find the golden ticket, be the star quarterback or head cheerleader. You just need to grasp the opportunity of adventure and believe in yourself.” DB Morgan

DB Morgan aims high and just goes for it. He gained a reputation as a serious first-time filmmaker when casting big TV/film names for his debut short film, 'Hard Sell': Craig Fairbrass (Cliffhanger/Rise of the footsoldier/London Heist/The bank job), Karl Howman (The Sweeney/Brush Strokes/Eastenders) and Chrissie Cotterill (Nil by mouth/Doctor Who/Bad girls). Winner of a 2009 MTV short film competition and official selections at several international short film festivals for his 2015 short film, 'Little Man' - budgeted at just £50. 

Three feature films in, and with a stack of International awards, DB Morgan continues to rough up the industry in his own unimitable way.
